This study compares the protection of Electrical Infrastructure (EI) in Cyber Security Strategies (CSS) of the United States (U.S) and Australia. Employing three key indicators as interpretive frameworks - (I) Standards and guidelines, (II) policies and (III) security controls, this study takes on a risk-based approach using NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) and Federal Information Processing Standards 200 (FIPS 200) as baselines. Drawing on secondary data, this study summarizes similarities and differences, and also identifies gaps in these two countries' CSS. The findings of this study may be relevant in the development of a checklist of security control areas for EI with potential use by countries that are yet to, or considering the development of, CSS for their EI or other key cyber critical infrastructure.
